This top is the first top that we designed and produced in 1996 after looking at the other tops that Land Rover supplied for the Defender 90.

The Badger I FDS (fabric Door seals) full canvas top has fabric door seals sewn onto the top, and does not use the gutter and door seal kits as needed with the Badger I & II. The fabric door seals do a great job at keeping the water out, but not as well as the gutter kit style tops. The difference is cost savings and simplicity of installation.

The Badger I FDS is available in 6 colors and are made with automotive fabric as used on more expensive European convertibles. The zippers are a nylon type used in the marine industry. The windows are double polished vinyl and come in dark gray tint. The 2 side windows and tailgate window zip out completely, and can be stored in a storage bag. Replacement windows are available if needed. There is an option for a sunroof and blank side curtains.
